Original Press Release:



LINK® Tools Offer Three Quarter Inch Tool Sets, Ideal for Heavy Duty Machinery



LINK® Tools, which have dramatically revolutionized the hand tool industry, has introduced a new set of tools specifically designed for industries utilizing heavy duty machinery or vehicles for manufacturing or construction. Those responsible for maintaining the safety, efficiency and productivity of that equipment will find the use of LINK Tools a great bottom line booster.

What elements of LINK Tools make them ideal for heavy duty equipment repairs? LINK'S patented QUICK-LOCK® technology guarantees "no dropped" sockets or tool separations, and extends this benefit to all standard sockets by locking them on, as well. This means that all tools connected stay locked from the mechanic's hand to the task at hand, functioning as a one piece tool. The tools also quick release at any connection with one hand, when desired.

TUV, a global leader in independent testing and assessment services, has certified the use of LINK tools on the job resulted in significantly increased worker productivity and significantly reduced chronic stress injury. These key features, critically important to three quarter inch tools and larger, tend to reduce medical fees and prolong the work life of skilled workers, just as they result worker output and greater safety for workers and their machines. These elements also lead to a healthier and more robust bottom line.

In a presentation to the Department of Defense (DOD) Maintenance Symposium, Link executives noted that without Link Tools, unintended disconnects, for example, traditionally were a daily occurrence in aviation maintenance. This led to disruption of service and damage to the aircraft. The intrusion of dropped sockets can create devastating problems for all machinery.
